Bridge the gaps
Bridge the gaps by breaking down controversies and dominant narratives of the past ... to better understand the present
Bridge the gaps by supporting marginalized communities to tackle issues rooted in the past ... to promote cultural understanding in the present
Why?
An avid traveler and WWII fanatic since I was young :)
I enjoy thinking outside the box, whether it be arguing that the Maginot Line served its strategic value in WWII or that Operation Paperclip was morally unjustified. Or in other words, the process of thinking critically and connecting it to present conflicts, political propaganda, and rising radical-right ideologies.
As a Taiwanese, I'm devoted to tackling historical problems and spread the stories of our Indigenous communities to the other side of the strait. Solving the problems, supporting marginalized communities, and promoting cultural exchange and understanding.

The 315-page historical nonfiction piece deconstructs controversial socio-technical issues to demonstrate the effect of sociopolitical factors on the public perception and development of technologies.
Also encourages readers to develop a critical understanding of today's world by reevaluating the grand narrative of military conflicts and international relations, examining cases from British Appeasement to the Soviet Space Program.
